Sexual Health

If either you or your partner have had more than one sexual partner, you are at risk for an STD.

Am I at risk?

One out of four women between the ages of 14 and 19 is infected with at least one STD.

Both young men and young women are heavily affected by STDs — but young women face the most serious long-term health consequences. It is estimated that undiagnosed STDs cause more than 20,000 women to become infertile each year.¹

Will i notice symptoms?

Chlamydia and gonorrhea are infections transmitted through sexual intercourse that often have mild or unrecognized symptoms.

What if I plan to terminate?

If you are considering terminating your pregnancy, you should be aware that women who have an undiagnosed and untreated STI such as chlamydia or gonorrhea are at a much higher risk of developing Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) - especially following a surgical abortion. PID is a condition that can lead to chronic pain, infertility and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
